2005 Turquoise Day for $475 BRAND NEW with the tags still on it from the original purchase at Barneys. Got it at a consignment store in NYC.

Unfortunately I find myself compelled by my emotions rather than common sense when I see a bag I love. So the best deal I've ever got when buying my Bal bags is $1189 total for my mint 05 sky blue city. And it ws an ebay purchase. The mint 05 Teal City I just bought is a close second at $1250, also from ebay. And we won't go into what I paid for my others, especially my new Twiggy, which has turned out to be the most expensive of all my bal bags!!!!!

Me too Deana. My emotions get in the way and I just do it. The eggplant City was so beautiful, I made one offer, took another look, and decided I had to own that bag. You know I am not a blue bag girl, but that color on the twiggy, the leather, is just stunning.

i havent found any good deals, but i have found some good finds... since i found the PF :-D

Oh Donna! · Nov 23rd, 2006, 09:43 PM

I think the best deal of all for all of us is the comraderie that we all have since finding the Purse Forum. Bad experiences or good, we know that we can come here and share and get the laugh we need or that pat on the back or the woo hoo that we need. I have made some wonderful friends on here, especially my good friend nanaz who I talk to on the phone a zillion times a day!........okay I had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, I was feeling thankful! You guys know what I mean!

surferchick2 · Nov 23rd, 2006, 10:49 PM

Ebay finds: Apple Green First for 465 (?) and 03 Lilac First for 600. I also got a teal shoulder for 150. All in near mint condition....then inflation hit and those days were over.

Rondafaye · Nov 23rd, 2006, 10:52 PM

Caramel Shrug yesterday for $399; Sapin Box for $585.

Oh Donna - aww - that's so sweet, but I think SO true! The once place where everyone understands your bbag addiction (or purse addiction in general) and encourages! haha

surferchick - those are some crazy deals!!

Personally I've discovered balenciaga way too late and no deals to be had for me here, but finds - OMG.. I just wish I could react on all the finds!!

MRG · Nov 24th, 2006, 12:42 AM

Ya'll all seem to have found great deals! I hope am so lucky one day. My best deal so far is $1050 for a '06 black Balenciaga City.

I agree

! Very sweet post.

My best deals have been the two new couriers I just bought on ebay for $560 each from that seller in Italy. I also bought Miu Miu boots from them (to go with my ink bbags), and they discounted shipping to $40 for all three items, from Italy! Some here have already received their Bbags from that seller and they gorgeous! Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Also my 04 white/ivory city I won on ebay for $555! And my absolute mint condition 05 black city I won on ebay for $750.
